MEP005a keeps shutting down
If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated . The gen ran fine for about 50 hrs then it shout down, I would start back up and it would run 10 15 mins shut back down, eventually would only run for 15 seconds and shut down. I changed the fuel filters,( for the first time) and found some black gunk at bottom of cup but not to bad, bled lines and I think fuel is getting to the fuel pump. The day tank has fuel and the floats look like they work.It keeps a prime so I don't think air is in the system.If I set the idle high it shuts down faster than if the idal is set low.

Possible restriction in a fuel line, or check valve. Check all your fuel lines.

Check your fuel filters once again; you never know what is floating around in one of these older fuel systems, or where things might be gummed up.

Thanks Carl, I have checked and changed the fuel filters more than once. Is there an additive maybe ?
